I just wanna know this myth is true (please let it be a myth!! ) or mayb this only happens in my country

Apparently, I've been told that Pentax lenses are more expensive then Nikon lenses or some other rival lenses on average. Is this true??

One of the reason I bought the K10D is the internal anti-shake. Though I know it does not work as well as the Olympus' system. However, I still think it is rather amusing to know that though Pentax does not need VR or SR in their lense, their lense are still more expensive. Examples include the 18-300mm

I suppose it would depend on who you ask. If you look at Shashinki.com, whose prices I find to be around street value or cheaper, you will find that Pentax lenses are usually cheaper wherever a comparison can be made.

You may however find that some third-party lenses for the Pentax mount cost more than those for the Nikon-mount. I guess this is because they
want to retain their profit margins despite the lower demand.
Note: Any information in brackets indicates that the aforementioned lens has a noteworthy feature not found in the other lenses.

In mexico pentax lenses (olympus too) are almost impossible to buy, the market is very limited so no internet store offers them, luckily if i ever want to buy a pentax slr i have a photo store nearby that sells a couple pentax lenses

really? I found it kinda hard to find pentax cameras and lenses here as well, (dunno about your area graham) I can find it online though but I want to check the products i buy before actually buying it. i dun really trust sellers around my place :P

It took me ages before I can find a place which sells a K10D
Other shops looked at me with a wierd face and ask "why would you want a Pentax?"...hahahaahh :P
